I really want to plan a surprise trip to see my SO. I would love to see his face - he'd be so shocked! I also think it's be great for our relationship. Last year he visited me at about this time and I'd love to return the favor :P

I am getting paid from my research assistantship soon - about $250. But I can't find a flight that cheap! It also seems like a lot of money to spend... but I do have the money and I'd love to see him. Should I do it?

I'd be going from Tampa, FL to Newark, NJ on either Thursday Oct 18th or Friday Oct 19th and returning on Sunday Oct 21st. I do have classes on that Friday but they are not mandatory and my friends could help me out.

Basically, I'm asking these questions:
- Does anyone have specific sites that they like to find flights from? I've tried a few but I'm always looking for tips!
- Should I do it? It's a short amount of time but I'd really love to see him (and surprise him!) and I do have the money.

Help!
